FEATURES AND OPTIONS

 

Designed for vault and shelter applications, Data Aire's Shelf Unit offers an unsurpassed combination of features and options along with a high standard of performance. Shelf Units meet the demands of telephone and electronic equipment sites in a compact design. Engineered and built by the people who introduced computer room air conditioning, the Shelf Unit offers quality at a competitive price. Each unit comes with Data Aire's commitment to excellence which began with our first air conditioner and has been tested and proven for more than thirty years.

 

Shelf Units are available in 2, 3, 4, and 5 nominal ton capacities in air cooled split systems or water cooled self-contained systems. Air cooled systems are available with either an indoor condenser or condensing unit or remote outdoor air cooled condenser or condensing unit.

 

The Shelf Unit is not a standard unit shipped from stock. Each unit is built to the site specification and is shipped in ten working days from date of order. An optional "Quick Ship" premium program is available in order for units to ship in as little as one week.

 

CONTROLS

 

Precise temperature regulation is provided by a built-in control system. All electrical components, including capacitors, contactors, relays and control transformers are pre-wired and contained in an electrical box that is hinged and swings out for easy access and servicing.  A factory installed microswitch will disable the unit prior to condensate pan overflow should the drain become plugged with debris. Units with the optional Mini Data Alarm Processor-II have a condensate pan high water level alarm standard.

 

Units are shipped with a thermostat and sub-base.

OPTIONS

 

MINI DATA ALARM PROCESSOR-II™

 

The Mini Data Alarm Processor-II is a wall mounted, one row, 16 character control that not only monitors the controlled environment's humidity, air flow, and cleanliness, but also provides alarm history and an automatic self-test of the microprocessor on system start-up. Multiple messages are displayed by automatically scrolling from each message to the next. All messages are presented in a clear vernacular format on the liquid crystal display (LCD). Multiple alarms are displayed sequentially in order of occurrence.

 

OPERATION - A slide switch allows unit on/off operation. Push buttons allow menu selection for programming, operational information, diagnostics, and historical data.
